Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 BDC MOA Riflescope

The Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 BDC MOA is an evolutionary upgrade designed for hunters and shooters who demand precision across varying distances. The primary Vortex Viper HS riflescope delivers a wide zoom range, sophisticated optics, and a Dead-Hold BDC Reticle (MOA) that helps you estimate holdovers and windage corrections with confidence. This hunting scope is built to keep you on target in fractions of a second, whether you’re stalking through timber, glassing open terrain, or engaging targets at extended ranges.

At the heart of the Viper HS is a combination of optical excellence and rugged engineering. The XR Lens Coatings maximize light transmission across all air-to-glass surfaces, producing brighter, clearer images in dawn and dusk light. Add in XD Lens Elements—extra-low dispersion glass that boosts resolution, color, and contrast—and you’ll notice crisper sight pictures and more accurate aiming points across the full magnification range. For hunters and long-range shooters alike, these optical refinements translate into real-world benefits: faster target acquisition, improved edge detail, and better color fidelity in challenging light conditions.

Designed with versatile hunting in mind, the scope’s 4-16x magnification range offers flexibility for close encounters and distant confirmations alike. The wide zoom range is complemented by a generous eye relief and a forgiving eye box, helping you get on target quickly and maintain comfortable eye relief during extended shooting sessions. This combination is especially valuable in dynamic field scenarios where opportunities can appear in a matter of seconds, and you need to react with speed and accuracy.

The Viper HS is built on a rugged 30 mm tube that provides superior strength and ample elevation and windage travel for precise adjustment. With capped turrets, you can protect from accidental movement while retaining the option for precise, repeatable zeroing. The rifle scope’s long travel ensures you have ample adjustment in both elevation and windage to dial in your ballistic hold at varying ranges, making it ideal for situations where wind, distance, and trajectory must be accounted for with confidence.

Durability and reliability sit at the core of the Vortex philosophy. This optic is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, machined into a one-piece tube to maximize alignment, rigidity, and water resistance. It is built to withstand the rigors of harsh environments—from humid jungles to dry, dusty deserts—and remains a steadfast companion in the field. The scope is also waterproof and fogproof; it is filled with an inert gas to inhibit internal fogging across a wide range of temperatures. Shockproof design with locked lenses helps maintain zero and keeps your optics in alignment even after recoil and impact during rugged field use.

Exterior protection is equally important for field longevity. The hard coat anodized finish provides a durable, low-glare matte surface that aids camouflage and resists scratches and wear. ArmorTek adds an extra layer of defense against scratches, oil, and dirt on exterior lenses, helping preserve image quality over time. The combination of rugged construction and protective coatings makes the Viper HS a dependable choice for hunting, sport shooting, and tactical applications where reliability matters most.

In addition to optical excellence and rugged build, the Viper HS emphasizes practical battlefield awareness and ease of use in varied light and terrain. The MAG View feature combines a fiber optics magnification indicator with raised rear-facing magnification references for quick, intuitive reading in low light. The fast focus eyepiece enables rapid reticle focusing, while the side focus parallax adjustment helps reduce parallax errors at varying distances, ensuring your crosshair stays aligned with your target as you adjust for range. The result is a riflescope that not only looks the part but also contributes directly to consistent shot placement in the field.
